A popular Bradford open mic poetry night is returning at a new venue. Talking in Tongues will be running every first Wednesday of the month, beginning on Wednesday 2 March, in the Exchange Bar, Market Street, in Bradford’s city centre. The open mic slots will be five minutes, and it will run from 7-9 pm. Those wishing to sign up to the open mic should email organiser Barbara Howerska at  b.howerska@gmail.com.

Barbara explained that the night’s previous venue closed permanently during lockdown. She said: “It was lots of fun and had a really good vibe and we all hope to return to those happy nights.”
